Hi All,
I finally tore my carb apart to clean it. I discovered my 2004 RoadStar 1700 had a 37.5 Pilot in it, and I couldn't find any numbers on the Main. I cleaned the carb and put it back on, but the bike still wasn't running as well as it did earlier this summer. Knowing that I needed to pull the carb off again and clean it more, I went ahead and ordered the suggested 40 pilot and the Baron's Jet Kit for the needle and Main. I also ordered a new diaphragm (the old one seemed swollen/ballooned). I'm curious if I should expect any noticeable power-increase, smoother running engine.
I adjusted valves this past summer and changed the plugs while I was at it. The old plugs looked fine with no noticeable sign of it running lean. It always seemed to spit/burp out the intake when it was cold, but that would clear as it warmed up. Is this something that might clear up with the new jets?
The bike is a 2004 1700, pumpless, RoadHouse Dual Exhaust with MaxAir intake.
